Our innovative, evidence-based Behavioral Health Services are delivered virtually, in office and in our partner schools. Services include assessment, diagnosis and developing plans for care that utilize evidence-based treatment approaches. Our Advanced Practice Registered Nurse is available to meet with clients in our Lexington office and via Telehealth for psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management. We also offer extended late afternoon and evening appointments three days a week to accommodate clients’ work and school schedules.

What We Provide

At KVC our licensed therapists and case managers provide compassionate, evidence-based care for children, teens and adults. Every treatment plan starts with a thorough evaluation so we can understand your unique needs and create a personalized plan together.

How We Help

Our team uses therapies that are proven to work. These approaches help clients build coping skills, strengthen relationships and improve daily life.

Evidence-Based Therapies We Use

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Learn how thoughts, feelings and behaviors are connected and how to shift unhelpful patterns

• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): Build skills to manage strong emotions, reduce conflict and cope in healthy ways

• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): Supports children, teens and families in healing after traumatic experiences

• Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR): Helps reprocess painful memories so they feel less overwhelming

• Motivational Interviewing (MI): Encourages positive changes by building on personal motivation

• Child–Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE Skills): Strengthens caregiver-child relationships and improves behavior

• Nurturing Parenting Program: Promotes safe, healthy and nurturing family environments

• Trauma Systems Therapy (TST): Addresses both individual needs and the environment around them to support healing

• Collaborative Assessment & Management of Suicidality (CAMS): A structured approach to addressing suicidal thoughts and behaviors

How Does it Work?

KVC uses a service team approach with each patient to develop a collaborative care plan, which is designed to help children live successfully at home and in the community and to help adults leverage their support system as much as possible.  Team members meet regularly or as frequently as needed to assess progress, develop goals and interventions and put crucial support systems in place.

Our dedicated staff work from nine locations across Central, Eastern, Northeastern and Northern Kentucky to help strengthen the lives of individuals and families each day, and have the capacity to meet with individuals virtually. Please contact our office for service availability.
